I was not suggesting renaming strcpy to something else. I was touching on API design subject. C APIs were designed much before programming became popular. I don't think C API designers had any idea about how popular the language would become. </p><p>strcpy was just an example. </p><p>About the return value from strcpy, this function returns the same pointer as dest. It doesn't return the end region of the copy. Thus return value from strcpy is not required. strcpy never throws an exception. If NULL pointer is passed as the dest parameter to strcpy, it core-dumps instead of returning NULL pointer to indicate the failure. strcpy doesn't update any global state variables like errno. That's why return value from strcpy doesn't make any sense (at least to me).</p>dudefrommangaloreWed, 06 Jun 2012 14:07:30 -0000http://blog.socklabs.com/2009/04/02/whats_been_going_on.html#comment-7906821<p>Looked at the stateless_server code. Seems like it is not OTP compliant. Keep up the good work and all the best for Erlang Factory. Mark will be there.</p>dudefrommangaloreMon, 06 Apr 2009 12:14:14 -0000http://metajack.im/2008/10/28/chunked-xml-parsing-in-erlang-with-xmerl/#comment-7811804<p>Did you get a chance to do the benchmarking for different parsers?</p>dudefrommangaloreFri, 03 Apr 2009 22:16:17 -0000
